Nero Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 We have two genuine wingbacks in a remotivated Moses Odubajo and a fit and raring to go Matt Penney. Attacking winger/wingbacks in Reach and Murphy. Would mean a three at the back which suits Iorfa and Lees at least. Even JVA might be able to cope. Would mean a three in midfield so we dont get our little legs overrun. Fletcher plus 1 up top. Sure Monks spotted this.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Last time we tried this we were bloody awful, against the worst team in the league. Although Monk playing Forestieri at left wing back wasn't a great idea. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Three centre backs definitely doesn’t suit Lees, he’s not happy covering the right back position. What happens to our wingers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_owl Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Im absolutely onboard with this. Reach / Penny LWB Odubajo / Palmer RWB Reach can also play CM when not required LWB. Sounds like a plan to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lees would need to be middle of the 3, but isn't good enough st organising for that role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

room0035 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 The only time 3 at the back has worked is when Loovens and Hutch were 2 of the 3 centre backs. We seem to spend too much time adapting the formation for players we cannot play 4-4-2 because Bannan cannot play in the 2, we cannot play 3-5-2 because the defense struggle. We don't seem to have many problem playing 5-3-2 though. We play a 4-3-3 because this gives us attacking intent, but we then get over run in midfield and end up playing more of a 4-5-1. I have an idea though let the manager decide (who ever that ends up being) on a formation and we get players in, who can play that formation and get rid of the rest that cannot. I am a bit of a traditionalist with formation and have always like the 4-4-2 with two good attacking wide players, a defensive midfield and an attacking midfielder, I like centre halves that come up for set plays and a keeper to save more than he concedes and like strikers that complement each other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we not learnt anything in 5 years shoehorning players into position they cannot play only leads to mistakes and losses. We have been doing it with Pelupessy for 2 season now playing him in midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not his strong point, and he's not that bad at winning the ball anyway. Has Lees learnt how to dribble like FF during lockdown? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeadonowl Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Palmer has never been, and never will be a wing back due to his awful distribution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Personally hope Lees isn’t a starter for us next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazowl55 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 How do we know Penney is raring to go. St Pauli probably said to him you done well we are going to offer you a contract. And his agent probably rang him the same day and said Wednesday have taken the year option on your contract. We dont know what he is going to be like. The only reason we may have taken the option on his contract is to get a fee to sell him to St Pauli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) I think Reach, Fox, Harris, Palmer and to a lesser degree Murphy are decent wing-backs. Wouldn’t have Odubajo personally. I thoughts Penney vastly overrated. But young enough to show me I was wrong. I do like the idea of a 3 man midfield and two strikers.

gurujuan Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 My concern would be the amount of players the system doesn’t suit. Palmer, Lees, Borner, Harris, Reach, all regular starters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Much prefer to move Bannan to one of the wider CM slots and play Luongo and Lee/Hunt/Pelupussy as the other CM But even that isn't ideal with the fullbacks we have these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather we sold Penney to St Pauli and used the money to tie down Fox in all honesty. Only position I can see Penney playing is left wing. Imagine him trying to play the way that Monk has Fox playing at left back. But like you said I am also hoping to be proved wrong and I am sure this loan has done him good.
